    K&N's are overpriced and do nothing like what they say they do. For ANY car.


    But unfortunatly that's the only option outside of homade you have.

    Is the cheap intake system from automat central worth it if I buy just the K&N filter with it?

    Your better off just running it open-cone, unless you make a proper cold air intake.

    I wonder if anyone has tested a cold air intake vs. open cone to see which one gets more KR.

    Ive never bought a intake for my cars in tha past

    I just used a drop-in & modded tha air box with a tube to get air directly to it.

    I have no regrets buying a Wizaired. Best intake I ever put on my car (and I tried lots, even the fabled open cone).

    why is it fabled now? haha. it provides the largest flow path and is probably the best option for heavily modded guys. lightly modded people should try and get cooler air, but it doesnt make a ton of difference.
